Apple can't keep selling expensive AirPods Max headphones at the same price without the slightest update for four years — and then expect us to be glad when they make the weakest "upgrade" possible.

A new model has been rumored for a few years. However, Apple is only tweaking the original AirPods Max model during the iPhone 16 event.

After nearly four years, Apple finally delivered an update to its most premium headphones. But instead of a new generation of AirPods Max, the company simply refreshed the existing over-ear headphones with USB-C support and a handful of new colors.
